IIS 7 URL Rewrite doesn't work if the url has a question mark in it

Question

I\'m using the URL rewrite feature of IIS7

I\'m trying redirect a URL like this

example.com/?parameter=abc 

to a URL like this

Answer 1

IIS7 redirects don't by default match query strings in the pattern so you have to add a condition as well as the pattern with {QUERY_STRING} matches the pattern parameter=abc
